Modern Day Super Stock

You might think it is 1968 all over again. In one
corner Dodge has unveiled a veninous new super stock Dodge Challenger
Drag Pak; in the other corner is Ford with the Ford Mustang FR500

gone by once again some of the Big 3 are back in business. Will
these new super cars live up to their precessors?
